Taap.it Targets Small Businesses To Increase In-Store Traffic

 
Taap.it Live Local, a Manhattan-based mobile application company, recently launched an app to drive consumer traffic into neighboring stores throughout the U.S. “Local stores represent 99.7% of all employer firms; they keep our country running and we can’t turn our backs to them,” said Dave Balkaran, Director of Business Development at Taap.it, in a press release. Based on a shopper’s location, Taap.it enables consumers to find items in their cities from local stores and make purchases using their mobile device for same-day or following-day pickup. According to the release, Taap.it has a sharing system in place which allows consumers to rate the items inside of a store and share the rating with friends in an effort to earn points and redeem prizes. The company currently has signed more than 5,000 New York City businesses. Taap.it is available on the Apple App Store and Android Market free of charge.
